QuebecOverCanada Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) This video depicts everything. Blissfull ignorance about dangers from abroad, open orders as an ideal rather than a means for something, total inaction against a real threat, implying people who want to implement measures as racists as to oppose the pro Europeans as being tolerant and kind... Europe has lost Italy in 2020. It's a matter of when Italy leaves the EU, not if. Edited March 31, 2020 by QuebecOverCanada 1 Quote
Michael Hardner Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 Yes, this was stupid. Many Canadian and American leaders failed to anticipate / appreciate the threat also. Some just a few weeks before the surge. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner

eyeball Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 Notwithstanding the completely misleading and divisive title of this thread, the beings expressing their humanity in the video above are every bit as important as frontline health workers in the war against this virus. AFAIC this virus will have won if the world comes out of this with a more racist bent to its direction.

OftenWrong Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 I might add it is stupid to hug someone wearing a mask and other PPE, but not necessarily stupid to hug someone chinese. Quote

Depicting a virus as coming from China and taking measures withstanding immigration for a certain amount of time from the origin of the virus is legitimate. And beings singing Imagine by John Lennon and giving hugs to everybody don't make the world a better place. Healthcare workers do, alongside the scientists. 1 Quote

Racists infect the world and make it a more dangerous place and the video you posted is intended to treat that alongside healthcare workers and scientists. You clearly didn't post it for that reason.

If you make the association between defending borders, keeping social distance and racism, I'm sorry, but you're far more dangerous than the basic far right zealot in his mom basement browsing hentai in between two videos of Alex Jones. 1 Quote

I'm not going to travel to China even if I could, and I'm not going to go shopping in one of those big Chinese grocery stores right now. It's not because I'm racist, it's because i'm not dumb. Just like I'm going to avoid Americans/the USA. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

You clearly didn't post it for that reason. Racists-racists-racists. Don't people like you ever get tired of using and throwing that word racist around willy-nilly. It's not the racists that are destroying the world, it's the stupid lemmings out there who are helping to destroy the world. There are a lot more stupid people out there than there are racists. This virus in the beginning was called the China virus but than they changed it to COVID19. Apparently, calling it the China virus was suddenly deemed to be seen as racist when there was no racism involved. Just more leftist lieberal bleeding heart nonsense once again. If the virus had started in Britain or Australia do you really think that they would not call it the British or Australian virus and that it would never be seen as or even be called racism. Why is it that every time someone mentions something about an event or incident that happens or involves a non-white person or race it suddenly becomes a racist issue? I am still not getting this crazy looking picture? Why is that Eyeball? Quote

It's always about racism when an incident like this virus is happening and a non-white person or race is involved. No matter what Alex Jones or others like him may say they will always be seen as being racists even though what they are trying to point out will still and always be seen as racism. Those who like to call others racist are themselves the most ignorant, arrogant, rude, intolerant and bigoted people on earth. They are not looking at the story being told. They are going thru the words being said to see if they can find a word in the story that may appear to be saying or promoting racism. They are crazy in the head people. Just my opinion of course. Works for me! Quote
